Based on the graphs and on the summary data it can be said that Atheists were for the most part neutral or unfavorable towards the government in 2008. The mean is 39.95 so the average Atheist was slightly unfavorable toward the government but by looking at the shape of the violin plot it is evident that the majority of Atheists were right around 50 so they were more neutral.
(Always double check the codebook to see what variables represent! You're wrong here: the variable represents how people across the United States feel toward the group named by the name of the variable! Not how the group feels toward the government.)

Christian Fundamentalists were for the most part neutral or favorable towards the government in 2008. With the mean at 59.18 it shows the average Christian Fundamentalist is slightly favorable toward the government. The box plot also backs this up with the 1st and 3rd Qu. being between 50 and 70.
Correlation = -0.1495257
The correlation between Atheists and Christian Fundamentalists is -0.1495257 which means it is a very weak negative correlation, since the correlation is so weak it can be said that there is no correlation between Atheists and Christian Fundamentalists. When comparing the violin plot of Atheists and Christian Fundamentalists the basic shape of the two is almost the same only inverted so it makes it appear to have some sort of negative correlation but based off of the calculated correlation between them it becomes clear it is only coincidental and there is not any real connection.
(Not very negative but weakly negative we might say.)
Based off of this scatter plot and how spread out all of the point are it is pretty obvious that there is no correlation between Atheists and Christian Fundamentalists. (This isn't quite right, there is a small negative correlation, right?)
This is good work and I'm happy to see you're up on everything! Keep doing what you're doing but moving forward just pay extra attention to how you write about your findings. Statistics are radical because they give us so much precision, even in the face of uncertainty--it would be a shame to lose that precision in how we summarize, explain and bring together our statistical analyses!
